About the Hotel
Located off the west coast of Scotland is a private 300-acre retreat called Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa & Golf. Built as a home in 1884 in the Scottish Barional style, this singular hotel on the island houses just 50 guests and is steeped in history. While the building has had a succession of owners and enhancements over the course of its lifetime, it has changed very little with age. The rooms are capsules of luxury adorned with tasteful appointments and regal bursts of color. In the main house, a former billiard room and courtyard have transitioned into a pair of spacious bedrooms, while the addition of a conservatory has enhanced the overall ambiance. A nearby annex is surrounded by lush foliage and features spa suites as well as two-bedroom cottage suites offering some serious seclusion with private gardens and bubbling hot tubs.

Reviews for Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa & Island
Great lodging, overprice and mediocre dining
Hard to know how to review this overall. The lodging side (room, service, location) was spectacular. But the dining was a very mixed bag, and what was to be our highlight meal in the main dining room was an utter disappointment. For 85GBP/person the meal should have been spectacular. It was anything but. There are countless fine dining options in Scotland and this place simply hasn't kept up. While it had the trappings of fine dining in terms of presentation (and price) the flavors were bland and uninspired, especially given the extremely high price point. On top of that, the service was not very good either. It was adequate but nothing special. For instance, this was a special occasion dinner for us, and the hotel knew that, but there was no mention of that in any way. The server didn't know whose dish was whose. And so on. Spend the money to stay here, but skip the main dining room and have a far better dinner in Oban for a fraction of the price.

Amazing Country House outside Oban
The Isle of Eriska Hotel is amazing. The building, situated on it's own island, is beautiful and the extensive grounds are fabulous. The rooms are beautifully appointed, and he bar and sitting rooms are lovely. Great bartender with an extensive knowledge of Scotch! And the food was fantastic. First class all the way. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended!

exceptionally good
Absolutely top hotel. We enjoyed it from start to finish. This hotel more than exceeded our (high) expectations. The welcome, friendliness, and helpfulness of the staff were a wonderful experience. Our lodge ("Rowan") was equipped with every comfort and decorated in true British (Scottish) style, perfectly matching the decor of the main building. The food was high quality, both breakfast and dinner. This hotel is a true discovery, and we will definitely return.

Such a shame
Amazing location on its own island but the value for money equation is way off - there is limited or no Scottish hospitality, the 85 pounds per head dinner for 3 courses is a joke - more like tapas dishes at best - such a shame for an amazing place
